This funky adaptation of Jacob’s Ladder feels more like modern art than an antique.
This brings up the question: who copied whom? As bold and graphic as this quilt appears when hanging, the visual impact is much more subdued when laid on a bed.
Measuring 74 x 86 inches, this wonderfully executed quilt can fit a range of beds from single to double to queen.
There’s a 2-3/4 inch border, in a slightly different shade of white from the body of the quilt.
On the main body of the quilt there are a few blocks also having this fabric.
Unless you’re searching for these blocks, you will not discern them from the other blocks.
This quilt has 6 inch square blocks. There are 6 inch solid white, then pieced 9 patch blocks.
The opposing corners when joined together create a different horizontal pattern.
Completely hand pieced and hand outline quilted, this quilt has a turned over binding from back to front finished by hand.
The binding is also outline quilted, giving the look of a separate applied binding.
This wonderfully artistic quilt appears to be unused. Professionally hand washed by Betsey.
